Barred and Boujee and Unburdened aka Madiba Dennie: New York Times Editorial Board: "Mr. Trump’s political agenda cannot and must not be opposed by violence. It cannot and must not be pursued through violence." Ok but to be clear Trump's political agenda *is* violence. We get that right? I dont want us to miss that www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/o...

Opinion | The Attack on Donald Trump Is Antithetical to Americawww.nytimes.com Political violence is antithetical to our democracy.

Right? I mean, he argued for immunity to kill political rivals.

LITERALLY

His lawyer did. But he didn't disadvow that: www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/pre...

Trump shares video of supporter saying "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat"www.cbsnews.com The supporter in the video is a New Mexico politician who faced calls to resign for his comment.

Correct, so it's effectively the same thing. If Trump had come out and said his lawyer misspoke then I'd give him a pass. I mean, lawyers are speaking on their clients behalf, amirite?

violence but only defined as things that make the ed board feel icky

Wait they pushed that out that quick

Definitely speedy!

Is there a word in journalism for something that's not a prewrite, but that you definitely had 90% written in your head with this exact situation in mind?

anticipatory ejaculation

Happens to all newspapers, don't worry about it.

Almost like they were prepared for it late on a Saturday night.

We don’t even know what actually happened so how can they even write this 🤦🏼‍♀️

How is a shooting in a public place that killed and wounded bystanders un-American in any way?

Over 30 mass shootings since July 1, this one being only the latest www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass...

Gun Violence Archivewww.gunviolencearchive.org Near real-time tweets of American gun violence incidents. Non-profit. Non-advocacy. Just the facts.

You're up to over *2* a DAY now!? How do you not all collectively live in a constant panic attack!?

Many of us do, but it presents in different ways.

To quote the former H. Rap Brown(Jamil Al-Amin):” Violence…is as American as cherry pie” everytownresearch.org/maps/gunfire...

It's horrifying how few make the news - that tells you how bloody common it is. But the GOP doesn't fucking care ANY of those times! But Dump gets a whittle boo-boo and it's hellfire.

The GOP’s 2-step response is first “thoughts and prayers”, then blocking gun law reform. It’s become so common that it’s background noise to the media.

“Antithetical to America,” uhm this is very American.

This is the most American thing to happen.

It’s a bald eagle eating apple pie at a Springsteen concert

It's why you have the Secret Service in the first place. I mean, jeesh. Side note: people don't shorten Secret Service to "SS" - just...no...

Heritage Dork: It will be bloodless if the left let's it be. Ok ok, stop shooting. Not like that. not like that.

He did a little bleeding, so I guess the left isn't going to let it be.

I hear you. Liberals get twisted up in the classic paradoxes, such as whether democracies must tolerate intolerant speech that aims to destroy democracy.

I'm sure the NYT will be just as concerned when US troops, on his orders, are gunning down protesters en masse in our cities lol as if

They already printed Tom Cotton’s thoughts on the matter

I was just about to ask if anyone had Trump’s tweets about Paul Pelosi handy

They put this out before we even know anything about the shooter or his possible motives? Wouldn't have hurt the NYT editorial board to just take a weekend off.

Shillers gonna shill

Ok, and what if the shooter's agenda wasn't political? Maybe he just wanted to impress Jodie Foster.

He was a registered Republican, and clearly a disturbed young man.

I'm so glad we've been cool for so long...

I liked her on True Detective but let’s not get carried away

what if they did it for you

Did they sleep through January 6th?

Or that the Supreme Court just gave him unlimited power to murder anyone he pleases?

"we're one election away from the end of democracy! hey hey settle down, don't do anything drastic."

It is violence and he has ALREADY pursued it through violence!

I remember him saying “fight fight fight,” I believe

In the middle of it all that is what Trump called for.

My dad can read lips he says he said "fuck fuck fuck"

That's an odd response.

NYT is garbage and needs to be boycotted

The left will condemn the attack and the right will wave the bloody shirt and scream for vengeance.
